Hydroxyproline Functions in the Human Body:
Gives strength to the protein collagen in the bones, tendons, cartilage and skin.
Is produced by hydroxylation (adding hydroxil or [OH] groups) of proline, with the help of vitamin C. In vitamin C deficiency, proline cannot be converted to hydroxyproline, so collagen does not have enough strength to maintain skin integrity, which results in gum and skin bleeding and other symptoms of scurvy.
Hydroxyproline-Rich Foods:
ANIMAL FOODS: meat (deer, bison, beef, pork)
